In Infants And Children

Human metapneumovirus (HMPV) is one of the leading causes of respiratory diseases in infants and children worldwide. Although this pathogen infects mainly young children, elderly and immunocompromised people can be also seriously affected. To date, there is no commercial vaccine available against it. Upon HMPV infection, the host innate arm of defense produces interferons (IFNs), which are critical for limiting HMPV replication. In this review, we offer an updated landscape of the HMPV mediated-IFN response in different models as well as some of the defense tactics employed by the virus to circumvent IFN response.

Objective: To evaluate the levels of N-terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide in infants and children with non-cardiac diseases especially respiratory diseases. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Department of Chemical Pathology/Biochemistry Laboratory Services of Liaquat National Hospital Karachi Pakistan, from Dec 2018 to Nov 2019. Methodology: Infants and children admitted to the Pediatric department with non-cardiac diseases were included in the study. Non-probability consecutive sampling was done. Blood was taken and analyzed for N- terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide, Troponin I, urea, creatinine, Lactate dehydrogenase, Creatinine Kinase, lactate and sodium analysis. Results: Out of the 93 patients, 74 (80%) were diagnosed with respiratory disorders, with bronchopneumonia making up 54 (59%) Bronchiolitis 15 (17%) and 4% had miscellaneous respiratory diseases. Out of the remaining 20%, 8 (9%) patients were diagnosed with sepsis, and the remaining 11% were diagnosed with miscellaneous diseases. There was a positive correlation of N- terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide with Troponin I, urea, creatinine, Creatinine Kinase and Lactate dehydrogenase levels (p<0.05). Conclusion: N- terminal pro-B-type Natriuretic Peptide levels were found to be raised in pediatric patients with non-cardiac diseases especially broncho-pneumonia and in future it may be used as a marker of bronchopneumonia in children.

The effectiveness of amplification for infants and children can be mediated by how much the child uses the device. Existing research suggests that establishing hearing aid use can be challenging. A wide range of factors can influence hearing aid use in children, including the child's age, degree of hearing loss, and socioeconomic status. Audiological interventions, including using validated prescriptive approaches and verification, performing on-going training and orientation, and communicating with caregivers about hearing aid use can also increase hearing aid use by infants and children. Case examples are used to highlight the factors that influence hearing aid use. Potential management strategies and future research needs are also discussed.
